Ionic compounds are compound consisting of a metal plus a nonmetal. The metal and the nonmetal both have charges that you can find on the Periodic Table, and they have to balance each other out. For example, you have MgO (Magnesium Oxide). The magnesium is the metal, the oxygen is the nonmetal, and they both have a charge of +2 and -2, so the subscripts cancel each other out.
